What is the maximum number of hosts can physically connect to a subnet ?
Q. The IP V4 is divided into classes as you know and logically you can connect 65534 hosts with class B, now there is a limitation for the number of hosts can be in the fast ethernet subnet like you cant have 1500 PCs, if there are any resources about the limitation of fast ethernet and giga bit networks please refer me to. Thanks

A. There is really no black and white answer to this question. It all depends on your situation. As a rule of thumb for my situation we try to keep single subnets to under 512 hosts, much bigger than than and broadcast storms really become an issue, not to mention troubleshooting potential problems. There is no real difference between FastE and GigE for this.

What can I bring as a gift to my hosts?
Q. I will be in Bahrain this Christmas and I have this couple who will be my hosts during my stay. They are Americans, I am thinking of what to buy for them. Any suggestions please. I am in Saudi Arabia.

A. Local items are always interesting. Is there a type of candy that is specific to the area of Saudi Arabia that you are in? Small pieces of artwork would be nice too, they way they have a memory of their time as your hosts.

How do I determine the ip address that are useable for hosts on the subnetwork?
Q. How do I determine the ip address that are useable for hosts on the subnetworks of the 200.100.50.0/28 network? Please my ccna exam is Thursday and I'm lost on this question. I'm going to fail it because I don't know subnetting!!

A. Well this can be tricky, but all you have to do is count the bits. For example 200.100.50.0/28 is a short way of saying that this is the network ID with a mask of 28 bits. To see how many bits 28 bits are is simple. Being that every octet is 8 bits you can see that 28 is greater than 24 (8 x 3) which is 255.255.255.0. When all bits are filled with 1's then you will get 255 in each octect. In an 8 bit number (not sign extented) you will see that the numbers range from 0 - 15 (or 0 - F in Hex). When computing the bits to binary you will need to know that each position, starting from the right will be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 respectively when the binary value is set to 1 in one of those positions then you just add up the values… [cont.]
